20,100 star coins... It was exactly just one hundred more star coins than 20,000.
However, its effect was surprisingly good.
The active ids in the online auction once again sank into silence.
All of them understood the meaning behind this number. This person was bent on winning this bid at all costs.
The silence went on for a while.
Feng Lin waited patiently. He knew that if someone really wanted it, they wouldn't be scared off by this one hundred star coin.
As expected, it wasn't too long before someone continued to bid.
”22,000 star coins!”
This person raised the bid by almost 2,000 star coins at one go, displaying immodesty in his wealth.
”23,000!” Another person raised the bid by 1,000.
Other than that, no one else called for a greater bid.
After all, there weren't many people who would pay over 20,000 star coins for just a genetic researcher's notes.
There was now only Feng Lin and two other people competing in the boisterous online auction.
Clearly, his tactic was working.
However, the other two ids were very persistent and kept on raising the bid. Very soon, the bid was raised to 25,000.
Feng Lin knew that it was time for him to take action. He called for a bid again, ”25,100 star coins.”
He repeated his trick again, increasing the bid by one hundred star coins.
However, the two people had already seen through his trick and persistently raised the bid. They didn't back off just because of a mere increase of a hundred star coins.
”26,000 star coins!”
”27,000!”
”27,500!”
”27,800!”
...
The bidding price kept on escalating and very soon, reached 28,000 star coins.
The virtual sale assistant, who was at the side, watched with wide-open eyes, not understanding what had happened. The price for this item had far exceeded her expectations.
It is just a genetic researcher's notes. Can it really fetch such a high price?
Seeing that her earlier suggestion wasn't effective, her eyes flashed with data as she tried to analyze the situation.
Feng Lin didn't mind it at all.
After some observation, he noticed that his competitors' bid increments were getting lesser. Clearly, the price was getting closer to their limits.
As long as he raised the bid further, they might just back off.
The bidding price's increment slowed down, but it still reached 30,000 star coins in the end.
”30,000 star coins, calling once!”
”Calling twice!”
One id left the competition and didn't raise the bid further.
Right at this moment, Feng Lin jumped into the bidding pool again. ”30,100 star coins!”
An increment of just a hundred star coins! Again!?
The online auction descended to stillness with his timely bid.
That last remaining bidder pondered for a while before starting to raise the bid again. ”30,500 star coins!”
Just 500 star coins? It seemed that this opponent won't be able to hold on for long!
